George K. Hagemeyer

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George K. Hagemeyer, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bony, France, September 29, 1918. During a period that his company was held up by hazardous enemy fire, Private Hagemeyer acted as stretcher bearer and, even though wounded, and ordered to the rear, he continued in the work of removing the wounded. He remained at his task throughout the violent fire until he was wounded five times and forced to retire from loss of blood.
